KDE Screen divided into 4 vertical screens
by Mamadou Cisse 20 Dec '02

20 Dec '02

Hi, I just installed Suse 8.1 on a PC for the first time. I've been specially amazed by the KDE graphic interface. However I'm having a problem with my screen. After searching the internet for days and days I couldn't find any helpful information. The problem is as follows: The screen is divided in 4 different vertical screens. The left screen is about one half of the entire display area, the other half is divided into 3 identical vertical screens. The right part of the bigger screen is repeated in all the other 3 screens identically. A friend of mine said he's seen this already but has no clue as what's the reasons or how to correct it. Would anybody have any clue or hint? Thanks, Mamadou Cisse Alatto Technologies www.alatto.com.

Fwd: Re: [suse-kde] Filter File

When I were a lad... etc. etc. That's quite cool, actually. I suppose the only disadvantage is that you can't easily add funky stuff like only searching files that being with "f", or files that've changed in the last five days. It does make sense to add a simple recursive option to grep, though, because find syntax can be a pain.

Hello Group, Where is the file for the Kmail filters? Is there a single file that could be backed up so as to not loose filters if you have to move to another machine or whatever?? -- Regards, Richard Saint Clair, Co-Founder Technical Manager Internet Users Society Niue Chairman, Pacific Island Chapter ISOC -------------------------------------------- stclair(a)niue.nu www.niue.nu Voice (68 3) 4630 Fax (68 3) 4237 Internet Service Provider, Niue Island -------------------------------------------- ISP/C, ISOC, APIA, NCOC, ISOCNZ, PICISOC, ARRL -------------------------------------------- Niue Island South Pacific 169 West 19 South -------------------------------------------- Don't forget, Nuts feed the squirrels.

KMail does not delete messages
by akalus＠gmx.de 18 Dec '02

Hi, KMail does not delete messages. You select a message in the inbox, choose delete and it disappears. But is has not been deleted as it is back at its place if you change to another folder and back to the inbox or restart KMail. The message has been put into trash somehow because in the trash there is the message - but also in its original folder (a copy, not a move). My system configuration: Mails are stored in /home/... which is mounted (rw) via NFS from a server. The KMail configuration (and Mail dirs) were originally created under SuSE 8.0 then I used them with a SuSE 7.3 System (whiched worked fine). 2 Days ago I installed (no update) SuSE 8.1 and with this KMail version the described problem began. I still have the original KDE (I think it is 3.02) and did not update to 3.04 or 3.05; this can be done if anybody thinks it might help... Please reply to akalus(a)gmx.de as I will soon unsubscribe because I do not want to receive many messages I cannot delete;-)) Thanks in advance Andre -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

I think Andrei has changed out the ram at some point. Don't know if he has tested it or not after changing with memtest? The fact that WinXP runs ok on the machine is not much of a test of the hardware or indication that the hardware is ok as Andrei seems to think. If the install is an upgrade over a previous version of SuSE I am suspecting that there might be several gcc 2.95 programs still hanging around. If the install is new though, then my thoughts run to bad hardware or bad install/updates since then. If with a fresh install you have no problems, but after your updates you do, it's pretty likely something has gotten out of sync.

PROBLEM - gcc 3.2x segfault with 8.1/AthlonXP/VIAKT266A
by Andrei Verovski 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

Hi, I am continuosly have gcc segmentation fault problems with SuSE 8.1 (updated with latest RPMs from SuSE update ftp), latest SuSE kernel which contains fix for buggy VIA South Bridge (also from mentioned location), and gcc 3.2-46 from /projects. Small packages usually compile fine, but larger ones (e.g. quanta and especially kernel) randomly abort with message "internal error - segmentation fault". However, it is possible to continue compilation further with random success. I did all type of troubleshooting (I have even replaced RAM and reinstalled SuSE from scratch). Unfortunately, it did not help. Everything else seem to work fine (XFree in linux, WinXP with games, etc.), except gcc. I have this hardware: Athlon XP 1600, 512 MB DDR RAM (Kingston), Chaintech 7VJDA m/b (VIA KT 266A chipset), latest BIOS update, 40 GB 7200 rpm Maxtor HD. CPU temperature is very low, I have checked it. May be I have missed some packages which gcc would like to be installed, and which are not listed in RPM dependency? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
